The videos from NDC2009 are now published on the conference agenda site. The site isn’t the easiest to navigate, so Mark Nijhof went through the effort of creating a simple list of all the videos grouped by speaker. There is tons of great content available and the videos should be a great way to do some (relaxed) learning in the summer heat.

There is a problem with some of the links, and the link to the video of my second talk on .NET RIA Services is broken. I’ll make a new post when that video becomes available.

Yesterday I was awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Silverlight. The nomination came based on my involvement with the Silverlight community during my year in Australia. I’m truly grateful for such recognition, and am looking forward to continue to work closely with the Silverlight development community to share knowledge and learn together.

About the MVP program (from Microsoft):

Microsoft is pleased to recognize and award its Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs). We present the MVP Award to thank individuals for their exceptional contributions to technical communities worldwide. When a community participant sees an MVP in a technical community, whether in a newsgroup, as a user group host, a conference speaker, or a respondent in forums, that community participant can be confident that the information shared by the MVP will be of the highest caliber and will help every user make the most of the technology.

As with all important news: It breaks first on Twitter.

Update: My MVP profile is now available online.
